HDMI Control

By connecting the receiver subwoofer to an HDMI Control-compatible Pioneer plasma television with an HDMI cable, you can control this unit from the remote control of a connected plasma television, as well as have the connected plasma television automatically change inputs in response to this unit starting playback.

Refer to the operating instructions for your plasma television and HDMI Control on page 44 for more information about which operations can be carried out by connecting via HDMI cable.

Auto-select function

You can have a connected plasma television and the receiver subwoofer automatically change inputs when playback begins on this unit (including when you have a GUI (such as Disc Navigator) set to display on this unit). Certain connected plasma televisions may have their power turned from off to on when using this function.

Simultaneous power function

You can have this unit turn on automatically when the power for a connected plasma television is turned on. To have this unit’s power turned off when a connected plasma television is turned off, you must change the simultaneous power function of your plasma television.

Unified language function

By receiving language information from a connected plasma television, you can have this unit’s language settings automatically change to those of the plasma television (language information can be received only when no media is being played back and no recordings are taking place, or when you choose not to display this unit’s GUI displays).

•Controls may not function properly in certain situations, such as immediately after you have connect an HDMI cable, turn this unit’s power off or remove the power cable for this unit or the connected component. If you experience any problems, set HDMI Control to On for all connected units, and then display the pictures stored on this unit on your plasma television to improve the situations.
